Let’s Make Some Crack Chicken!
Step 1: Marinate the Magic
Submerge the chicken tenders in buttermilk. Ensure they’re fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This tenderizes and adds flavor!
Step 2: The Flavor Bomb Coating
In a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well for even distribution. This is where the amazing flavor happens!
Step 3: Coat Those Tenders!
Remove chicken from the fridge. Dip each tender into the flour mixture, ensuring complete coverage. Shake off excess flour and set aside. Repeat until all tenders are coated.
Step 4: Fry ‘Til Golden
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Once hot, carefully add tenders in batches (avoid overcrowding). Fry 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve & Savor!
Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the crispy perfection!
Keto & Low-Carb Options
For a keto or low-carb version, substitute almond flour or coconut flour for all-purpose flour. The amazing spice blend remains the same!
